Jeff, I agree....
A MUST SEE movie!!!!!!!
People were leaving my theater mumbling angrily...
....’they left them’...!!!!!...... No one helped!!!!!
Well, Glen Doherty came with a team from Tripoli and he helped...and died. Got there in time for the last fight, when the enemy used the mortars.
I also believe there was a General and an Admiral who were relieved of command because they were willing to disobey those orders too...but there were people in their commands who could relieve them.
Thank God no one was there to relive the men on the ground because they saved American lives.
Yes, there's some strong language in it. I'm not sure it was necessary. Yes, I heard plenty of the same when I was on active duty, but it's still jarring to hear it come out of the mouth of an actress.
Putting that aside, it's a very intense movie. Nevertheless, the point comes through clearly. Some brave men were abandoned for the benefit of some politicians. The politicians aren't named in the movie, but they don't need to be. We know who they are.
Remember in November!
